DEATH POSE NEOMETACANTHUS ( MRAKIBINA ) TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED Atlas Mountain Range - Erfoud, Morocco DEVONIAN PERIOD: 395 - 345 million years ago Similar in ways to a Metacanthina trilobite, this highly collectible type is called NEOMETACANTHUS or NEOMETACANTHINA, and MRAKIBINA in some circles. The longer sweeping genal spines and elongated pygidial spines are what sets this species apart from its Metacanthus cousin. True Neometacanthina trilobites are seldom seen on the market. This nice specimen is a great opportunity to pick up one for your collection. This is an exceptionally nice example and it has been meticulously freed from its matrix with micro-abrasive equipment to best expose the delicate detail. Much more labor is involved but the end result is a much finer trilobite with excellent features preserved and ready for the finest display. Trilobite died in typical arched "death pose" making for a great display fossil viewable from all sides. VERY FINE QUALITY AND LARGE IN A BEAUTIFUL ARCHED DEATH POSE ARTICULATION! 3.5" x 2.5" with original matrix, animal 2.25" in length $195 TR30-001 INCLUDES STAND Actual Item - One Only |
